Summary
APL programming language consists of two main branches, K and J. J is used by a niche community of enthusiasts, while K is an expensive language used by the world's richest hedge funds due to its incredibly fast data processing speed. However, APL is heavily focused on computation, lacking on user interface toolkits, making languages like Perl and Python more pragmatic for everyday use.
